Church of St. Donatus
The round Church of St. Donatus stands beside Zadar’s Roman forum, bringing two eras into one small area. Its cylindrical outline makes the early medieval building easy to recognize.
Why go
Standing between the church and forum remains lets you read how later Zadar occupied a Roman civic setting. The reused stone is part of that story, and the building’s shape differs sharply from the streets around it. An exterior visit still shows the relationship clearly if interior access is unavailable.
What to look for
Reused stone is visible in the church beside the forum.
Useful to know
Check access or event use before planning to enter; the exterior is a worthwhile stop.
